16 days before airdate (taping 1/6 for air on 1/22)?? That doesn't seem to be possible either. I don't have much from the 1992/1993 era, but I'll try and find some sort of tape date for that time frame.

Well, it would have been right after a break, so they'd have probably been a little bit behind. Weren't they usually about three weeks out?

I've seen her first scenes (a long time ago) but they were really poor quality. A couple of them are on youtube, but there have been some missing for a while. They used to exist, lol.
